About this grant
The UK Fund provides larger amounts of funding to help organisations develop work that is already making a demonstrable difference. Applicants must show what is working, how they know it has proven impact, and why it is ready to scale. The fund does not support brand-new projects or services. Projects should go beyond delivering a service to help change how systems work, leading to lasting benefits for communities. Projects must benefit communities across the UK by working in different places or sharing learning between countries.
